Mohammad Saeed Munim
Affiliate, Epidemiology and Population Health
BioMohammad Saeed Munim works at the Health Systems and Population Studies Division of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b). Trained as an anthropologist, he holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Anthropology and has more than eight years of experience conducting public health research in Bangladesh.
His research focuses on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), environmental health, climate change and health, air pollution, antimicrobial resistance, behavioral health, and health systems. He has extensive experience working with vulnerable and underserved populations, including residents of urban and rural communities, informal settlements, remote and climate-vulnerable regions, and Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar.
Munim specializes in qualitative and mixed-methods research, community-based participatory approaches, implementation research, and behavioral interventions. His work examines how social, environmental, and structural factors shape health outcomes and access to services among marginalized populations. Drawing on anthropological perspectives, he seeks to understand the lived experiences of communities and translate research findings into evidence-informed public health action.
He has contributed to the development and implementation of numerous national and international research projects along with Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, USA. In addition to academic publications, he has produced documentary and visual communication materials to disseminate public health research findings to diverse audiences.
His current interests lie at the intersection of anthropology, environmental and climate health, WASH, infectious diseases, and community engagement, with a particular focus on advancing health equity in low-resource settings. -
